The sweet and spicy chicken was good but the place was dirty. The tables and benches had dried food on them. Nobody wipes the tables after each sitting. I couldn't find a single clean table to sit down and enjoy my wrap so I sat at a dirty table. It kind of stink sitting there. Like there was a sick smell as if the person who sat there before me was a homeless person. The staffs shirts also looked dirty. This makes customers question the cleanliness of their food. read more

Cava is my favorite type of salad bowl casual restaurant out here. The sauces are really chiefs kiss and makes it unique compared to others. You can customize whateves you want. I have to say tho though this location they did not load it up for me. read more

CAVA - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Fine place, food is healthy-esque however surprisingly fatty due to addition of hefty portions of dressing and dips to salad itself. The service was efficient but the restaurant is not the cleanest. They are in a busy location. Would likely pick another healthy option if around and available in the future. Food itself tasted good. read more

So I was wasn't clear with what I wanted and a mistake was made with my "gyro" and they quickly remade my order and it was a non-issue! they didn't make me feel bad and it was a comfortable experience. Thank you Cava team of Rye! read more

Cava is one of my favorite salad places out there. For one, the service is top-notch; they'll go out of their way to please you, and I appreciate that. Two, the portions are huge, for the same prices you pay at other salad places in the same ballpark. Three, along with your base, three spreads, protein (oh my goodness, that lamb!), and sauces, you get unlimited toppings! Whoo-hoo! How did they know that was the way to my heart? Four, you can go back and ask for more dressing, and they will pour it up. Five, there's plenty of seating at this location, and it's clean and quiet. And last, they have great drinks! I love the jasmine tea and the lemonade. They're so fresh. Plus, there's mint water por gratis. Cava is from Maryland and has roots in Greek cuisine, so the flavors are bold, Mediterranean, healthy, and hearty. It lasted me two meals, which is great. I believe you can find their products at supermarkets, too, but I like it fresh. Oh, and don't forget to get the eggplant dip, crazy feta dip, and harissa - some of the best and most unique spreads I've had. read more

The service sucks at this particular restaurant. The food is good but the portions they serve are very small barely half the bowl. My last visit I left feeling insulted because side the customer e for me was served properly and consideration and My food was thrown in the bowl. Workers looked distracted or were distracted. The Palisades zMall Cava put this Cava to shame. read more

Very fresh Mediterranean salads, rice bowl, etc. I'm hooked on the balsamic date sicken bowl and the various salads. I like to order when I am in there as opposed to ordering on an app because it seems if I order on an app my order is not filled with food and basically a quarter of what I receive when entering the store itself. I have no complaints and truly enjoy the various additions thst can be added to your bowl. The workers are well mannered and very attentive. read more

Muy buen servicio me gusta mucho la comida de este lugar, es muy organizado y lo recomiendo mucho

Picked up and everything was seamless. Not a big line and you can order as many toppings as you want. The real highlight was the pita chips (prefer it over the pita) with extra dressing. The dill sauce is my favorite! definitely go-to healthy spot in NYC. read more

I stopped by with a friend during the evening and it wasn't busy. The staff were nice and quick and there's seating inside if you'd like sit down and eat. The food itself was great and there are a variety of options to choose from. I've been craving Cava everyday since haha read more

**UPDATE** Okay look at my previous review, I obviously love this place but look at the photo... absolutely no works by the toppings section, a few workers are in the corner by the grill standing around. Online orders have two people with only two orders up and 10 orders in the shelf getting cold. I used to be a general manager at chipotle and this is just unacceptable ESPECIALLY during the lunch rush! 3 stars still because the food is amazing read more

I am a CAVA regular, primarily at their 42nd street location. First time I had Cava and I must say I was very impressed, and after my nth meal I must say this is still my favorite fast, healthy, casual spot! Fresh ingredients, healthy, big portions, and great prices is what comes into mind. You can choose between ~4 types of veggies or grains, choose 3 out of ~6 dips, pick 1 out of ~4 proteins, have unlimited toppings, and top it off with a sauce of your choice. Eggplant dip, chicken are my favorites here! The tzatiki sauce was also great, and the lemon herb tahini taste fantastic and healthy. Unlike the 42nd street location, there are seating options here. Awesome! Would come back here again if I need a quick, healthy, and decently priced meal! read more

As a fan of Mediterranean food, I'm so glad that there exists places like Cava which I can enjoy and forgo the usually exorbitantly high prices in most Mediterranean restaurants. This Cava at the corner 14th St and 4th Ave has always been super consistent for me-both in terms of flavor and quantity of food. The portions here are super generous (2 scoops of meat) and the staff is always kind and welcoming. Prices are in line with standard fast-casual joints and are well worth it given the quantity. Grilled Chicken Greens & Grains Bowl - This was actually my first time trying out the lentils, which is a really good choice for those looking for a higher-protein option. I paired it with SuperGreens, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Grilled Chicken, Pickled Onions, and a few other toppings. The meal was very fulfilling and the greens and toppings were fresh and crisp. Don't really have much to complain about here as the service was quick and easy too. If you're ever in the area, please give this Cava a shot. Super friendly staff and solid healthy food at reasonable prices makes it a no-brainer for me. read more

CAVA - Grilled Chicken Bowl (SuperGreens/Lentils) - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

I love Cava in general, but this particular location needs some help. The place is always a mess in terms of organization/service. Multiple ingredients are usually of stock, pick up orders aren't ready when they're supposed to be, the rewards code scanner has been broken for a year, and there's just general chaos behind the counter when selecting your options. However, in typical Cava fashion, the food is always good, the price is reasonable, and they don't skimp on volume, so I keep coming back. read more

Once you have a salad from Cava you'll never step foot in a Sweet Green again!!!! Omg I got steak with French lentils brown rice Eggplant and cabbage salad and a few other thing it didn't even need dressing !!! And it is definitely two meals !!!! Wow - the flavors blew me away !!!! read more

Saw a friend eat takeout from here once and I made a note to try it out myself because it looked so good. Came on a week night and it was not too busy. I was able to get through the line and find a table to sit down and eat very easily. Confused about which meatball was which, I ended up getting the beef meatballs but the cashier gave me a sample of the lamb to try! The lamb was so good and I will definitely be back to get that with my salad next time! read more

I eat Cava 5 times a week in NYC and this is the best location!! Food is fantastic and fresh and the place has clean seating to dine in. Shout out to Presley and Chris they keep this place running so smooth and I always look forward to seeing them when I come in! 10/10 read more

I really like the food--I'm glad they have Cava locations here (I used to live in the DC area where they started). I always order the same thing--bowl with double the super greens because I don't add rice/grains, 2 scoops of feta and hummus, harissa chicken (the best) and a mix of their toppings with Tahini Caeser. They have something for everyone--meat eaters and vegetarians can enjoy. I definitely recommend if you're looking for something fast and flavorful. read more

I have been to their DC location on more than one occasion. So this is not my first experience with the chain restaurant. Tonight I was invited to the advance screening. Of the executive directed film by John Legend LOUD MOUTH. And afterwards my best friend and I. Stopped by this location for a post-screening meal. As I mentioned I have been to other locations. But this location had some of the most incredible team members. I am all about customer service. Because without the customer there is no business. The entire crew was friendly and had great customer service skills. Often times you walk into many of these places and. The workers are holding their personal conversations while customers are waiting to be served. The team here was professional in tune to the customer's needs. They made sure that all orders were right. And you saw that they worked as a team. One crew member got up from his break time to assist. His coworkers when a group of customers had arrived. I also witnessed crew member Miguel provide excellent care and compassion for a special needs customer who was there dining. Not sure if Miguel was a manager or not. But he presented great managerial and leadership skills. There are a few locations in NYC. And I have been to them all to date none. Has had a crew like this location. This has now become my favorite location in NYC. I would recommend this location to everyone. read more

Thank you Cava team at 24th st (Baruch location). I left my notebook there one day and they kept it safe for me retrieve it later.

Probably the best location of them all. Really nice staff and fresh foods all around. Have returned a few times

I've been a fan of Cava for a few years now since I first tried it in Virginia. These fast, casual Cavas have been popping up all over NYC lately and for good reason. The food here is flat out delicious. They serve huge portions (about $10/bowl) which ended up being 2 meals for me. The best way to describe Cava is the Chipotle of Mediterranean food. Start off with grains. I chose rice and black lentils because you can choose half and half for the same category. Add up to 3 sauces (eggplant, spicy red pepper, and a type of hummus). For protein, I had half chicken and half beef ball and then loaded up on all kinds of toppings in addition to some lettuce and crispy topping. Pita bread also came on the side. Like I said, the portion is simply huge. Cava reminds me of a very similar place called Clove Mediterranean in Downtown Miami. Both are very good. read more

OK, I understand it is a chain, blah blah, blah, but it is also the greatest fast-casual restaurant I have seen in a long time, and Cava will do for Mediterranean food what Chipotle did for Mexican food. And that is a good thing. I cannot wait until they come to Oregon. I found the restaurant clean, well staffed, the large variety of vegetables and proteins were fresh and tasty, and the seating was comfortable. Counter service was fast and efficient. I have nothing but nice to say for Cava. Power on, Cava, Five Stars. read more

Food: Delicious! Everything. Especially the Lamb. Service: They were so nice to me. They had this efficient assembly line and they looked happy. I was happy they were happy! Ambiance? Good temperature. Clean tables and seats. It felt nice to just sit down and eat. I've seen this restaurant for years, but never went in until today. I feel bad I only just discovered it. I look forward to returning. Also! The ingredients for every item are listed on the glass in front of each section. Makes it easy to avoid foods you're allergic to. read more

It's efficient here. I chose lamb meatballs for protein, comes with four. Comes out to be a little more than $16. They were tasty, but after like 10 minutes they got cold and I guess while well done meatballs isn't necessary, it didn't taste good cold, and seemed a lil undercooked. So took it home to microwave. Place here is bustling and busy. read more

The food here is excellent and delicious Their bowls fill your tummy in a heartbeat Plus, their drinks are amazingly refreshing read more

Love love love! I can have this everyday if it was possible. Such a healthy alternative for lunch or dinner. This is the mediterranean version of Chipotle. You pick a base, up to 3 dips/spreads, a protein and as many toppings as you want! I always get the grain bowl with brown basmati rice with chicken. Huge portion and very filling! Make sure you get the feta! Best feta ever! The Union Square location gets very crowded and it is almost impossible to get a table during rush hour. I would definitely recommend for you to try this place at least once. I know I will definitely be returning! If only there were as many Cava locations as there are Chipotle locations! read more

Wouldn't eat here. Would take the food out. I was at Town Central Jacksonville FL location, eating inside, 1:30 pm. I really liked the food and selection. The table was filthy. Sticky, gooey stuff on it. It seemed it hadn't been scrubbed in days. read more

What a nice surprise! I didn't have high expectations since it's a "fast-food-ish-Chipotle-meets-Moe's" kinda vibe...but Cava waaaaay out-did my judge-y predetermined assumptions. Just like the other aforementioned chains, the ordering process is simply: walk up to the counter and choose ingredients...they lay it all out for you. Everything looked really fresh and I loved that there are 3 dips included in the bowl. The staff was terrific. I had the saffron basmati rice as my base with harissa, crazy feta (jalapeños!) and tzatziki as my 3 chosen spreads. Protein? Grilled chicken. Toppings? Yes. Literally...yes. I had whatever was available. It came with a warm pita and I ordered a side of pita chips since I needed way more carbs in my life this evening due to not having any time to eat today. And I just love carbs....I don't really need an excuse to wolf down extra pita. The bowl was literally never ending. I felt like I ate forever... and I wasn't eating slowly. The flavors were delightful. Spicy, savory....different textures...this was seriously good. I need a CAVA near me! read more

One of my pick-me-up lunch place! Reasonable manhattan price, line between 12pm - 1 pm. All goodies mixed together in such a joyful bowl, ask for pita on the side, extra sauce swirled inside to create a master creation. Delicious toppings like crunchy fried noodles, pickled vegetables, olives, etc. Generous portion of chicken! Thank you Cava for opening close to my workplace. read more
